EDITING

HEART OF THE STORY

Tends to include the main character facing and dealing with a big problem

One way writers revise their writing is to retread, looking especially at the role of magic in their stories.

For a fairy tale to work, the magic can't be just sprinkled around will-nelly, but needs to connect to the heart of the story.

Magic usually pops up especially when the story's trouble pops up

J.K. ROWLING

It's important to remember that we all have magic inside us. We just have to find it. It doesn't need to be fancy, just keep it simple
